drink a little by the here and there, perhaps after the first trimester, and they came down very clearly from the severest form, which is fetal alcohol syndrome to milder forms of neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems which falls on the spectrum, that really the ko consumption of aohol can lead to these things d there was an off site study tt looked at 31,000 pregnancies with moderate drinking, one drink a day, even could result in these problems which are lifelong and though early intervention can help this is still an issue, and certainly the amount of consumption is correlated with the degree of severity of these, you know, problems. >> 1 in 10 pregnant women according to the cdc have admitted to having a drink occasionally, so is there cause for concern? >> i think so. you know, i think, again, we talked before the segment, well, if you have one drink a week is that a problem and the bottom line is that we don't know how much is safe so, therefore, the

only reasonable recommendation really is to advise women not to drink at all, and that's -- you know, it's been the position also of the american college of obstetrics and gynecologists as well as the american academy of pediatrics. this is not veering from any of their prior statements. >> dr. azar, thanks as as. and an arts theft in the san francisco may have been the ultimate inside job. a man who was found squatting in a $20 million mansion was also selling off the paintings that adorned the walls, and he managed to sell 11 pieces of art value the at about $300,000 before he was caught. the humble house where bruce springsteen without his classic 1975 album "born to run" is the back on the market. the two-bedroom, one dat bathroom house is one block from the beach from long branch, new jersey, listed at $299,000. a few fans bought it a few years back hoping to turn it into a tourist attraction and potential

good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we are slowly warming. we are in the mid to upper 50s. a lot of sunshines and highs in the 70s and low 80s across the bay area. in san francisco, a high of 74. 85 in the north bay. the east bay, 82 degrees. we will have mid 80s in the tri-valley today. a little warmer than yesterday. the warming trend continues as we head into tomorrow. also, expect breezy winds throughout the day. >> and that's your latest forecast. savannah? >> all right, dylan, thank you. now to our special series what the he can are you eating where we're remaking your favorite foods into healthier option. today nutritionest expert jay bauer tackled pizza, and this morning it's all about the burger. >> here in america the hamburger has pretty much become our national food. in fact, we eat more meat than any other country in the world, and reports show americans collectively eat over 50 billion

burgers a year. holy cow, literally. so what's the beef with your diet? well, all hamburgers are not created equal. the type of patty, portion size, choice of bun and toppings can mean the difference between a relatively healthy or unhealthy me. i'll start with the bright side. if we're talking about a standard backyard burger on a classic bun, no double decker action piled with lettuce, tomato tomatoes, pickles and onions the sandwich will run you between 300 and 500 calories, so not so bad, right. why the do burgers get a bad rap because restaurants and creative chefs have turned them into fattening monstross industries from supersize the buns toasted with bun and slathered with mayo and special cause to topping like cheese, bacon and fried onions and some burgers have more than 1,000 calories and load your system with a day's

worth of saturate the fat. that's the type of fat that can rates risk for heart attacks and diabetes. the bottom lines, are burgers grillworthy? of course, but whenever possible prepare your own burgers at home so that you can have full control over what goes in and what stays out. stick with ground meats that are at least 90% lean. poultry your church and whole grain buns piled with lettuce, tomato onions and even sauteed mushrooms and sliced avocado. love cheeseburgers, a slice will suffice, and one to two squirts of ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce and even salsa work well, too, and dig in. as for the times you're dining out in the restaurant i have three words. keep it simple. stick with a standard burger, pile on the produce and consider disc the top bun to save yourself 100 calories. now that you know what the heck you're eating, build a better

burger today. >> all right. joy, got our marching orders. good morning. >> good morning. >> so you're building a better burger. the first thing that's really key is the kind of meat you choose. >> that's right. >> so when you're making a burger at home and you're in the grocery store because it can get overwhelming with all the pack amsa, just want to make sure whether it's beef, whether it's chicken or turkey that it's at least 90% lean, so usually you tend to see 93/7, 93% lean and 7% fat. >> that's good. >> and then you know that your burger is going to be low in calories and packed with protein. >> that's great. some people cannot give up the bred. >> and you don't have to. when it comes to the bun go for whole grain, not necessarily because you're going to save a lot of calories because you're going to shower your body with extra nutrition, whole grain buns, standard buns clock in at about 140 or go for the sandwich flats which are 100 calories. english muffins come in whole grain, whole grain pita breads.

some people are carbs phobic and don't like any carbs, you could wrap your burger if you want in lettuce leaves or grill port blah mush rum caps. >> that's actually pretty tasty. >> you're killing me with the lettuce leaves though but i'll gain you back as a fact. i'll show you how to make a bacon cheeseburger. >> okay. typically a bacon cheese burger is 1,100 calories. my version is only 425. >> how did you do it, joy? >> have a whole grain bun and swapped the fatty pork bacon for lean turkey bacon, one slice of reduced fat cheese because it automatically will trim off 40 calories and i have my more than 90% leeuwenburger, lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, if you want, low-fat mayo? i'd split it with you, and gets us down to 212.5. taste it. >> this is really good.

>> isn't that good. >> 225 calories. tomorrow she will a very good morning to you. it's 8:26. this one goes beyond making yourself at home. police have arrested a man they say was squatting in a luxury mansion. on top of it all, he was selling the home's expensive artwork off the walls. he is accused of selling fine art worth more than $300,000. investigators say he was illegally living in the mansion once owned by minor. he declared bankruptcy two years ago and hasn't been living there since. police have managed to track down all but two of the stolen pieces of art. check the morning commute out there, see how things are rolling. >> a little bit of a mess.

maybe a little action there. a lot of movement and a little slow here. we are looking at 101. should see improvement over the waldo tunnel which have seen lanes clear. still waiting for confirmatioco. look at the bay bridge, oakland, a lot of traffic for 880. north off 230 and south down past both bridges, we have had a slow drive. here is the south bay, a number of incidents. the traffic is starting to throw better. the san mateo bridge, we had a slow mover across the bay. back to you. >> thank you very much. another update in half an hour.

it's 8:30 now on a tuesday morning, the 20th of october, 2015. we've got a nice crowd of people outside. going to love those temperatures at 70 degrees this afternoon and thanks to these folks for stopping by. by the way, you're listening to some of the smooth sounds of the fantastic a capella group

pentatonix who are here to treat us to live performances the rest of the morning. >> pretty amazing what they do. and bill murray opening up about his favorite roles and one that has us literally "rock being the casbah". >> and we have emmy winner jeff daniels joining us. >> also an all-star lineup tonight on "best time ever" with neil patrick harris, reba macintyre. catch it all tonight on nbc here on nbc. >> and by the way, neil's sidekick my cole sherngzer stops by later today. >> dylan a check of the weather. >> we'll have highs in the new york city area with highs in the upper 60s and mid-atlantic lower 70s. temperatures back up into the 70s and 80s down through texas and a slight risk of stronger storms in new mexico.

some of the stronger storms could produce heavy winds and large-sized hail. the rest of the country looks all right. 60s up through seattle and 70s and 80s on good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. most of us in the mid 50s in the bay area. a lot of sunshine. we will see the sun throughout the afternoon as the winds continue to increase. our temperatures increasing as well with a high of 82 in the east bay. in the tri-valley, a high of 86. in san francisco, 74. mid 80s in the north bay. while the south bay tops out at 81. in the peninsula, a high of 79. a little warmer as we head into tomorrow. enjoy. >> and that's your latest forecast. matt? >> oscar nominee bill murray stars in the new movie "rock the casbah" who plays a struggling talent manager who tries to get

a young woman to compete on a popular singing show in afghanistan, and apparently she's not the only one who sings. ♪ smoke on the water ♪ fire in the night ♪ smoke on the water ♪ fire in the sky ♪ >> i used to actually like that song until just about 30 seconds ago. bill, good to see you. trivia, name the group and the year. >> the it's not deep purple. >> it is deep purple. >> and the year is 1978. >> 1972, i was in eighth group. you got the group right. >> it's a crazy song, final understood what it's about? >> which is? >> which is they were recording a record on the shore of lake

geneva, and some goofus drunk set off like a fire rocket, and the only good club in town and burned it to ground. >> and that was the origin of "smoke on the water." >> they were here two months ago, probably still touring, here on the plaza. >> probably opened with that. >> the only song they did. you've done funny singing in other movies. any classical training? >> i've had some voice lessons. you might call that -- there were other people, opera singers according to the same people. i did a christmas show that comes out at christmas time. >> "a very murray christmas" and i sang in that, sang a lot. can i actually sing. >> "star wars." >> and i can sing "star wars." >> i can ruin songs. i ruined "smoke on the water" and i will ruin anything you like. >> you have a whole album of ruined songs coming out. >> that's my final position. >> tell me about this guy. he goes to afghanistan. i'm going to get to the singing competition part and why is he

in afghanistan in the first place? >> kind of bust the. got not much going on and encounters a guy who puts together uso tours, kind of a gravy train for a rock promoter. can you put together not necessarily the best band, but, you know, it's a starting audience when you're overseas and they will listen to cover bands, garage bands if they show up, so he comes out. he hires his secretary to be the lead singer in this band and she bails and then he strands. >> bails with the passport. >> there's some reality here in that i think it was four or five years ago. there actually was a young woman who became the first female competitor on this afghan star show. >> it really did happen, yes. >> but the twist is that after she competed she actually had to go into hiding. she got death threats. this is a comedy. how do you walk that line? >> well, we hope the actress won't have to go into hiding, pulling for her, a very sweet girl and we would hate to have to see her leave her family.

i don't know how we're going to work with. the movie has actually been -- i don't want to say applauded but sort of applauded, encouraged and endorsed by like the sort of number one muslim spokesperson in the country and the fellow whose music we didn't steal but used, cat stevens, who is a muslim, is crazy about the movie and very happy with the way it turned out because, you know, in any movie you can want to kill the producers and he doesn't want to kill anyone. >> so many movies when they look at your resume, when people see you on the street, one movie more than others that they tend to bring up with you. >> depends on the time of year, people in march they will seen "groundhog day" 300 times and they like that. that one inarguably is a great film, a really great movie and, you know, the older people like the ones i did first like "caddy shack" and "stripes" and "ghost

busters," you know is a very powerful emotional statement. >> like a merchant ivory film. >> and then the other movies "lost in translation," that's more acting "and people like st. vincent's" very much. >> do you have one? >> i do like one "brooklyn flower" and i thought i should quit because i couldn't do any better than that, perfectly directed and i didn't think i could act any better than that but this one may be the best one. >> called "rock the kasbah" and bruce willis agrees you're as good as you've ever been in this movie so there's that. >> which is night. >> bill murray, thanks. >> "rock the kasbah" is in theaters this friday. savannah. >> all right, matt, thanks so much. coming up next, emmy winner jeff daniels is here to tell us about his new role in the steve jobs movie. just discussing, should i get rid of the throw pillow. >> lose it. >> so done

it's intelligent enough to warn of danger from virtually anywhere. it's been smashed, dropped and driven. it's perceptive enough to detect other vehicles on the road.

we are back now at 8:40 with one of hollywood's most ver tile stars jeff daniels and in the movie "steve jobs" he plays a role where he doesn't shy away from taking. >> you're issuing contradictory statement, you make people miserable and our top engineers are fleeing to dell, sung, and we've lost hundreds of millions in value and i'm the ceo of apple, steve, that's my resume. >> boom. jeff daniels, good morning. that's a mouthful. >> a gooum couple words in that. >> this is an aaron sorkin movie which means a particular thing and usually it means a lot of talking, a lot of dialogue and i have to say watching it i just stand in awe of your ability to let it roll off the tongue as though it's naturally coming to

you. >> how do you do that? >> it's hard but you want hard, you want difficult. you want a challenge, and with aaron it's always heavy with tie log and takes more time leading up to it like on "newsroom" you would spend your weekend, forget doing anything, spend your weekend so by sunday night you would know the whole week because if you didn't and now we're going on to the set and you're going in sorkin speed you're left behind. >> and just in case anybody has any impression aaron is not the kind of writer/director who says, sure, just ad lib or this is just a suggestion. have your way with my words it's like you've got to have it right down to the punctuation mark? it's word for word and that's what broadway is. playwrights, you don't ad lib, oh, i don't have to write it. i did "the hours" ma meryl streep and she was walking in and you've got david here, do i have to write, it too, and

whenever you get an aaron sorkin, great, he writes, it i tact? here you are playing a real person john scully and as i understand it you had a chance to meet with him as well. did that add to your portrait, because as you've said in interviews in the past you are not trying to do an impersonation of john scully. >> it's really a dramatization of events and people and john was a great source of information. he really helped, and you could still see how much the relationsh relationship mattered to john years and years later. they didn't get to reconcile, a betrayal according to steve and it ended like that and now steve's gone. there's regret there and pain there, and i was able to put that into the movie and give john a complete picture. >> the movie is not without controversy, i mean, for example, apple ceo tom cook has talked about it, la uralene

jobs, what do you make of that in. >> i don't care because at the end of the day he's a great historical figure. he changed the world. henry ford change the the world and thomas edison, edison, oppenheimer, steve was one of those guys, and those guys that create -- the creative genius that goes behind those guys, they are not simple people, and i love that we had -- we have the opportunity to showcase one of the great creative visionaries that the world has ever had and that means the good and the bad. >> speaking of creative, you are also in "the martian," got that role and going on tour with your son's band. tell me about that. >> the ben daniels band we start friday and go out for november because that's what an actor should do, pick up a guy tar and go to clubs and opera houses and play with his son's band because that makes you young. >> exactly. just hold on. >> that's right. >> jeff daniels, thank you so much, always a pleasure and "steve jobs" from our sister company universal is playing in select theaters and, bands nationwide. >> coming up, a live performance

>> yeah. >> but he gave, if you will, proof of life that he's not kidding around and also says he got into the comcast billing account of the homeland security secretary, this guy jeh johnson. he told all of this reportedly to the tabloid the "the new york post" and he said he's upset with u.s. foreign policy and why he's doing this and the next target is deputy defense secretary robert work, the number two official at pentagon. >> yeah. >> i think we should make a rule now maybe. >> if you're the head of cia, if you're the secretary of state, if you're the head of homeland security, let just keep it on that government e-mail or just keep it personal on the personal and work on the work. >> yeah. >> i mean, that's the hard thing though is what you're hearing and learning, i mean, we all can be hacked, that's clear, but heer you've got government officials with very sensitive information on their own home servers that are getting hacked and -- and, you know, it's clear there needs to be more stringent

measures of security. >> well, one expert, what they call i guess they are hackers but they are hackers who say they do good, and they say that it's a generational gap that people still don't get, that younger kid, even though we lecture them about not putting up bad pictures, not putting up the nude selfies that were so popular with the celebrities, that older generation, people around our age, still don't get, how vulnerable we are, and that the younger kids that we lecture do, but you just would think brennan of all people, jeh johnson, homeland security secretary. >> nothing so far classified but who knows where that goes. >> don't know. >> very sensitive information, and security clearance information, so moving on to another topic, michelle obama yesterday at white house is launching her better make room initiative. it's encouraging teens to continue their education after high school, and she shared some tips on how to communicate with
